In this work we present a formal solution of the extended version of the Friedrichs Model. The Hamiltonian consists of discrete and continuum bosonic states, which are coupled to fermions. The simultaneous treatment of the couplings of the fermions with the discrete and continuous sectors of the bosonic degrees of freedom leads to a system of coupled equations, whose solutions are found by applying standard methods of representation of bound and resonant states.
In this work we present an extended version of the Friedrichs Model, which includes fermion-boson couplings. The set of fermion bound states is coupled to a boson field with discrete and continuous components. As a result of the coupling some of the fermion states may become resonant states. This feature suggests the existence of a formal link between the occurrence of Gamow Resonant States in the boson sector, as predicted by the standard Friedrichs Model, with similar effects in the set of solutions of the fermion central potential (Gamow fermion resonances). The structure of the solutions of the model is discussed by using different approximations to the model space. Realistic couplings constants are used to calculate fermion resonances in a heavy mass nucleus.
We derive the gauge covariance requirement imposed on the QED fermion-photon three-point function within the framework of a spectral representation for fermion propagators. When satisfied, such requirement ensures solutions to the fermion propagator Schwinger-Dyson equation (SDE) in any covariant gauge with arbitrary numbers of spacetime dimensions to be consistent with the Landau-Khalatnikov-Fradkin transformation (LKFT). The general result has been verified by the special cases of three and four dimensions. Additionally, we present the condition that ensures the vacuum polarization is independent of the gauge parameter. As an illustration, we show how the Gauge Technique dimensionally regularized in 4D does not satisfy the covariance requirement.
On the basis of the formalism proposed by three of the present authors (A.K., J.P.and M.Y.), generalized Lipkin model consisting of (M+1) single-particle levels is investigated. This model is essentially a kind of the su(M+1)-algebraic model and, in contrast to the conventional treatment, the case, where fermions are partially occupied in each level, is discussed. The scheme for obtaining the orthogonal set for the irreducible representation is presented.
Recent interest in spectroscopic factors for single-neutron transfer in low-spin states of the even-odd Xenon $^{125,127,129.131}$Xe and even-odd Tellurium, $^{123,125,127,129,131}$Te isotopes stimulated us to study these isotopes within the frame work of the Interacting Boson-Fermion Model. The fermion that is coupled to the system of bosons is taken to be in the positive parity $3s_{1/2}$, $2d_{3/2}$, $2d_{5/2}$, $1g_{7/2}$ and in the negative $1h_{11/2}$ single-particle orbits, the complete 50-82 major shell. The calculated energies of low-spin energy levels of the odd isotopes are found to agree well with the experimental data. Also B(E2), B(M1) values and spectroscopic factors for single-neutron transfer are calculated and compared with experimental data.
The interpretation of the recently reported low-lying excited bands in $gamma$-soft odd-mass nuclei as wobbling bands is examined in terms of the interacting boson-fermion model that is based on the universal nuclear energy density functional. The predicted mixing ratios of the $Delta{I}=1$ electric quadrupole ($E2$) to magnetic dipole ($M1$) transition rates between yrast bands and those yrare bands previously interpreted as wobbling bands in $^{135}$Pr, $^{133}$La, $^{127}$Xe, and $^{105}$Pd nuclei are consistently smaller in magnitude than the experimental values on which the wobbling interpretation is based. These calculated mixing ratios indicate the predominant $M1$ character of the transitions from the yrare bands under consideration to the yrast bands, being in agreement with the new experimental data, which involve both the angular distribution and linear polarization measurements. The earlier wobbling assignments are severely questioned.
